    2013 looking pretty awesome. I would wager that GBP makes Mares vs. LSC to counter this.

    Glad to see Donaire getting in a good fight that will cement his legacy. I think it will be a good one but I'm backing Donaire to win a decision.

    Big fight. I'm going to do my best to see this one live. I already think Donaire has cemented quite a legacy. Given his rise in weight and beating the best in the divisions he's been in, I think he's probably stamped his ticket to the Hall or damn close. A win over Rigondeaux might just put him in line for another fighter of the year award.

    Good fight, can't wait for this. I still think Mares will be a better fight for Donaire.

    I don't think Rigo goes the distance to be honest. I think he gets stopped.

    Donaire by KO, could be early or late. It will be hard, for me, to wait for this one, I will be real surprised if Rigondeaux can handle the pressure and speed of Donaire.

    Donaire for me too. Rigondeaux could well get sparked in this fight.

    Wow, this is awesome news. I think it's is a complete pick em honestly, largely depends on how Rigondeaux handles the step up. I don't think either man has a stylistic advantage, they are both brilliant natural counter punchers so this could be a pretty edgy fight. I do think Rigo has looked more fluid or natural over the last couple of years, and while he hasn't fought anyone very good Donaire has also looked pretty complacent against a couple of lesser opponents. Really see it coming down to who wants it more and rises to the occasion, skillwise they are very near even to me.

    Donaire must be the p4p best active fighter out there taking on all available challenges at the moment.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    These two were both due for an uphill challenge.

    As far as Donaire'a legacy, well, with him, it comes down to raw talent and skills alone. He has it. As far as I know, he also lives clean and has a good head on his shoulders.

    Forget the politics about worthy challengers. Sometimes you just have to settle and deal with the ever changing climate of boxing.

    As far as Rigs, well, he doesn't seem to be a very animated person. You can be the best p4p in this biz, but if you ain't got character, you won't go far.

    P.S. I can't wait for this fight, both could box, and both can bang. I hope they surprise us.

    Somehow, I think that Rigondaux could cause the surprise in that one with speed and movement. Not saying he will but I don't see him as dead and burried like many of you seems to see it.

    Anyway, that fight, I REALLY want to see. It will be beautiful boxing from both opposite corners.

    This should be interesting. Donaire is going to get hit clean in this fight.

    Good ole Bob sure knows how to double dip that chip.

    Looking forward to this, I hope Donaire tears Rigon a new asshole.

    Just wanted to add that most of the 32 year old Rigon's fights have been as an Amateur and only 11 fights as a Pro. I've gotta believe that there's a big difference between fighting as a Cuban Amateur and then fighting Donaire, one of the best P4P Pros in the world. Donaire is on a different level, he'll school Rigon for a few rounds before knocking him kicking.
